Movie stars and models. Yeah, some act well and look really nice and all but the reason why some people go miles just to get a selfie and a handshake is beyond me :(
Seriously- a lot of my friends obsess over celebrities’ personal lives. Romances, weddings, family feuds.
As an adult- why do you give a shit. Seriously.
Actually the sub rips apart PR tactics of celebs. Nothing misses the eye. I find it entertaining to be honest.
No one’s going gaga over celebs on it - in fact the last sub you’d expect it from. Maybe except for SRK.
uhh sure lmfao.
todays top post is a comment katrina kaif posted on deepika padukone's insta, this week's top post is anushka sharma's insta caption after kohli's win, another one is a "humorous" video of srk and salman khan the known murderer laughing - i could go on.
its okay to find this shit entertaining, people find big boss entertaining ffs - but dont say shit like it's the "last sub you'd expect people to go gaga over celebs" smh because that's literally its entire purpose.
I dunno, I checked it out and the comments where pretty critical. I understand if they were talking about the community vibe.
Like you're talking about the posts, they're talking about the comments.
I always thought who would buy shampoo or a deodorant just because an entertainer is in the advertisement. But, after my own research, I found out tne majority of population buy products purely because their favorite celebrity is in the advertisement. I don't understand that how can you not compare products and just buy because someone is saying that on TV. Common sense ain't that common.
It's parly because all the products are so similar that people just grab whatever feels right. That's how ads work. Not by convincing you the prouct is better but by casting a glamour, beguiling the mind until you think you're making the best choice after comparing options when you're really just buying the familiar box.
Haha, you have reminded me about a dream I saw last week. Now it is time to tell.
I was in theater, and right side , three four seats away , Amitabh Bachchan was sitting with his daughter. In front of my seat there was Waheed Rahman and Mausami Chatterjee. Don't know which movie. When intermission came. I was contemplating whether I should go and take selfie with AB, "it is less light, and what is the use, where will I post it, and for whom. It is not an achievement kind of thing. " So didn't take selfie.
And for emphasis. My brother and I are big fan of AB. We have seen almost all of his movie. We used to make a list that which one we had left. (Few movie, we watched because he had guest appearance). And password of my wifi router's admin account has his date of birth in it and a movie name. ʘ‿ʘ
I am crazy for their work, but not so like a fan. I mean I love Nawaz work, but if he is shooting near my apartment, I am not interested to go and visit there. Yeah if I can get to talk with him for half an hour, that will be different. But just saying, " I am your fan, I want selfie" is useless. Or announcing to world , "look I saw Nawaz doing shooting, see how much lucky and great I am, my life is so awesome"
Even in urban cities, let's say Delhi for most part used to have Halwais (Chef) that cooked food on the premise for the ceremony. The food that was left over was taken to the host's house and consumed for days after and in some cases distributed to the neighbors and relatives. Being from Delhi, I savored many such occasions and the food that tasted much much better the next days on breakfast and lunch. Could never forget. I never saw any food wastage while I was in Delhi until 2005.
This a true answer. Even though extravagant spending is common in many cultures, even the poorest Indians spend an unnatural amount of life savings on weddings which could have been used to other useless expenses like education, healthcare, food, etc.
If someone would advice on how to avoid this without having to go through family drama that would be great. I am an only child so my parents are hell bend on having a huge ass wedding whenever I do, I am far from interested in it.
If it doesn't drill a hole in your pocket fine. You can't do that without talking 20-30lks loan which cripples you for a lifetime. You'll spend the rest of your life trying to pay that loan back, you won't be able to do any yearly trips all while your relatives gossip behind your back while eating free food at your wedding. It's not worth it & you're screwing yourself up bc what you'll spend in 10 days will take you 20yrs to earn back (in a regular middle class job, it's a bit easier for ppl earn more, but they are rare)
That's not enough!
Don't forget the pre, during, and post- wedding shoots that give you the true move start feeling. You can also go broke (literally) by choosing a destination wedding along with a movie-like coverage of the wedding!
Media going behind every celebrity and worse behind their kids and sharing what they wear for Gym, how much their bag/shoe cost, how adorable when hold their own kid's hand or kiss, posting how viral a pic is in the 5th second it got posted in their Instagram, saying how brutally they were trolled looking for 1 in 1Lakh comment for a troll and indirectly begging for commenter to troll them.
It’s paid PR Dude. Even Abram or Azad (Aamir’s youngest kid) didn’t have this popularity. You think Taimur will be more famous? Saif & Kareena paid the media so as to keep them relevant until Kareena is fit enough to come back to movies
Let me preface this by saying that I am neither interested nor condone such news.
But let's face it. There is a market for such news. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be people who are being paid to work on it.
Also there are algorithms in social media platforms which push such news.
Brands benefit by having their brand ambassadors in the news (by any means necessary) and celebrities benefit by being top of mind for future work in films/tv/commercials.
For the consumers of such news, it gives them something to talk about. Either in the sense of something in fashion, general gossip or shitposting (like this post).
Upcoming celebrities take advantage of this ecosystem by opening up their lives, even the most trivial things. Most often there are PR agencies working behind the scenes for these celebrities to ensure they are considered for the next gig.
Absolutely. Bollywood, with a very few and very rare exceptions, is a demonstration of apathy and mediocrity of astonishing levels. Most of the stars actually have no concept of acting, and are there simply because of their mindless fan following. The movies are mostly rotten, with bad scripts, bad acting, bad direction, objectification of women and truckloads of misogyny.
>When anyone gets a job the first question is how much they make.
Which is, incredibly impolite and shameless to ask and it's absolutely none of their business.
Even the religions adapted. From "give it all away" to "dear god pls gimme more money, big job, big house, pretty wife".
What an impoverished culture it has turned into.
Our obsession with the thought that we had so much power and influence in past and everything in modern science and modern medicine was just already discovered in india.
I recently attended a citizenship ceremony with people from various countries becoming citizens where I’m at. 95% people took an oath which had them swear “under God”. Only 5% went for affirmation - I.e. no “under god” pledge.
Religion’s insane - it has the world still by its balls.
I don't hate Punjabi music, I hate it's encroachment over all other Indian music and especially Bollywood. Not a single Hindi song with a couple Punjabi verses.
But is natural since Punjabis in Bollywood are like Jews in Hollywood.
Yeah bro finished my engineering this year and was getting prepared to study for upsc, thankfully my elder cousin who's already dropped 3 years for ups sat me down and told me it's not worth it. Feels like i dodged a bullet but still a bit sad that my parents are disappointed at my decision.
A cousin of mine dropped 2 years for UPSC and didn’t even clear prelims. He was very sad and his family is not very well off either. I tried to convince him to give it up and consider more “practical” options like MPSC (for Maharashtra). He has cleared UPSC prelims now but is mostly focused on MPSC.
It was good once but now it has just become boring. Instead of comedy, there is just preaching now. It was good to have something funny after work but well, that's also gone now.
Because there is nothing else worth watching in India. The newer episodes are not that good but that's what you can watch with family and get entertained(somewhat).
Yeah, people will treat you like some future ATM, they will start having wild expectations from you without caring how you exactly feel and you'll become a zombie. There's no problem with those who passionately wanna do, but forcing everyone to do those is bullshit.
What about the students who couldn't pass the exams? The selection ratio is fucked and the difficulty level is brutal, many people sacrifice their entire childhood for IIT but only few of them end up in IITs.
The state of the education system of this country has been in shambles for decades, it's one of the reasons for employment in this country. So many engineers but only a small percentage are fit for the job.
Private engineering college suck the money and happiness out of you, until you're completely empty and total shell of yourself.
i am not saying the selection and education system is fucked.
i am just responding to the persons statement.
>Biggest lie told "Bas yeh pass kar lo toh life set hai"
No matter how shit the system is, this statement is a lie. If you do pass, you have a HUGE advantage over everyone. Almost enough to guarantee you a stable, high paying job.
I have the same thoughts. In a country with a scary unemployment problem, you want to make talent even more selective? I understand it's an oversupply problem but goddamn. IIT imho benefits multi national corps a lot more than India and the best end up leaving the country. Would it kill the government to create several excellent colleges, create more home grown industry and compete on the global market?
(Saying this as someone who went to a tier 1 university and still has this view)
Bollywood Celebrities and Religion.
And while I don't disagree with you, cricket is a big social activity. The obsession is excessive but it's alright. What's more important is promoting other sports as well. There's so much talent in the population which gets lost becomes no one acknowledges it.
Cricket(I know most of the players and watch the major matches but not religiously invested in it), Sports in general, Religion, Bahubali(it was avg), Bollywood (there was a time i was obsessed but not anymore).
Bts
Edit - the question says what is something you don’t care about? It means I don’t give a shit about BTS irrespective of wether they have good music or make up on their face.
> People only care about other sports when one gets a gold medal
And why do you think Cricket is popular in India? Coz we are successful and one of the Best in the world. No one gave a shit about Cricket till 83 WC win.
And Hockey was our Favourite Sport till then and when it fell into a deep pit in terms of Performances, Cricket became the alternative.
General audience will want our nation to win other Top countries, if we kept losing they will lose interest. Simple as that.
Bro cricket is famous in india cuz Indian cricket team performed well and won so many trophies in past, that happens with every sports if you want supporters and viewers you have to perform well. Agar indian cricket team achha nahi kheli hoti toh
Cricket inta popular nahi hota.
Bcci and Indian cricket team earned that spot.
There are many actually -
God & Religion
Festivals
Astrology
Celebrity worship
Caste and "culture"
Normalised dowry culture
Arranged marriage
Wedding celebrations
Fair skin obsession
Mass media and socia media
Toxic family and relatives
Treating househelp, vendors etc working class people as slave
Society (chaar log kya kahenge)
Government job
Tiktokers and other social media "influencers"
Indian jugaad bullshit
Politics as a whole especially Hindutva and caste politics
Something which has taken hold over in the recent years is Punjabi music however it's something I don't enjoy very much if at all.
I love all the other aspects of Punjab though, the food and culture.
Haha same! I used to love cricket as a child but then it faded out when I hit my teenage.
Another is Bollywood. I only recently watched Barfi because some friends forced me. You can guess how outdated and disconnected I am.
I don’t think about why others are obsessed with it. It’s their choice, who am I to question their likes!
Peace ✌️
Well the wedding Industry generates millions and gives employment to thousands of people so that's good. Since I'm poor anyway, i couldn't spend anything beyond a court marriage.
Bollywood.
I'm really bored of the copy-paste/plagiarism that is rampant in Bollywood. Other film industries within India tend to make better films and also represent India better at film festivals. Whenever this is brought up, people of my view often get told we're snobbish. Even if that is true, that doesn't change the truth about Bollywood and how it's washed over other arts/cultures and made tropes, norms, stereotypes which aren't the best.
Taking interest in other people's personal life. Marriage. Kids. Kitna kamata hai. Kya khata hai. Kiske saath aata jaata hai.
Instead focusing shift on myself, my health, my goals and aims, travel, time outs.
Obsession over education and degrees
Religion and caste pride 🤦♂️
Godly workship of celebs
Western people validation, the reason how reaction channels milk views
Movie stars and models. Yeah, some act well and look really nice and all but the reason why some people go miles just to get a selfie and a handshake is beyond me :(
Also the media/people reporting/hanging on to thier comments and opinions on shit unrelated to their work or entertainment. Like why.
Seriously- a lot of my friends obsess over celebrities’ personal lives. Romances, weddings, family feuds. As an adult- why do you give a shit. Seriously.
This describes r/BollyBlindsNGossip . The recommendations i get for that sub are always so weird
r/InstaCelebsGossip is even more pathetic 💀
I feel so sad for the people of that sub. Then again I think it’s mostly PR agents and chappri celebs themselves
Actually the sub rips apart PR tactics of celebs. Nothing misses the eye. I find it entertaining to be honest. No one’s going gaga over celebs on it - in fact the last sub you’d expect it from. Maybe except for SRK.
uhh sure lmfao. todays top post is a comment katrina kaif posted on deepika padukone's insta, this week's top post is anushka sharma's insta caption after kohli's win, another one is a "humorous" video of srk and salman khan the known murderer laughing - i could go on. its okay to find this shit entertaining, people find big boss entertaining ffs - but dont say shit like it's the "last sub you'd expect people to go gaga over celebs" smh because that's literally its entire purpose.
I dunno, I checked it out and the comments where pretty critical. I understand if they were talking about the community vibe. Like you're talking about the posts, they're talking about the comments.
Salman's a known murderer?
Yeah especially the tiktokers.
There is no tik tok in India.
Still have insta reels and yt shorts
I always thought who would buy shampoo or a deodorant just because an entertainer is in the advertisement.

once I saw varun dhawan at airport, yet I did not asked for selfie or handshake. I myself am a celebrity among kids, but they hate me.
This is the way.
most of them are morons
Isn't specific to India/Indians
Yeah this is a worldwide thing
Well this not just an India thing
Haha, you have reminded me about a dream I saw last week. Now it is time to tell. I was in theater, and right side , three four seats away , Amitabh Bachchan was sitting with his daughter.

But just saying, " I am your fan, I want selfie" is useless. Or announcing to world , "look I saw Nawaz doing shooting, see how much lucky and great I am, my life is so awesome"
Spending lots of money on wedding.
Also the wastage of food in weddings.
This stuff is only seen in urban cities most of sub urban .. rural corridors the food is never wasted.. just my observation..
Even in urban cities, let's say Delhi for most part used to have Halwais (Chef) that cooked food on the premise for the ceremony. The food that was left over was taken to the host's house and consumed for days after and in some cases distributed to the neighbors and relatives. Being from Delhi, I savored many such occasions and the food that tasted much much better the next days on breakfast and lunch. Could never forget. I never saw any food wastage while I was in Delhi until 2005.
You have used anecdotal evidence from ~20 years ago. o_O
This a true answer. Even though extravagant spending is common in many cultures, even the poorest Indians spend an unnatural amount of life savings on weddings which could have been used to other useless expenses like education, healthcare, food, etc.
This is the best one here
finally some different answer
If someone would advice on how to avoid this without having to go through family drama that would be great. I am an only child so my parents are hell bend on having a huge ass wedding whenever I do, I am far from interested in it.
You need to have a logical discussion & cement yourself to the ground. It's not about the wedding, it's about the costs
I don’t understand it. I would prefer a court marriage and an expensive honeymoon.
[удалено]
If it doesn't drill a hole in your pocket fine. You can't do that without talking 20-30lks loan which cripples you for a lifetime. You'll spend the rest of your life trying to pay that loan back, you won't be able to do any yearly trips all while your relatives gossip behind your back while eating free food at your wedding.

Yeah same, I see these paparazzi posts of them entering and exiting parties,spotted in the airport, etc and I think to myself who tf is watching these
> I see these paparazzi posts Guess whooo!
I swear Taimur is bigger than most Bollywood celebs nowadays with that media attention like leave the child alone atleast.
It’s paid PR Dude. Even Abram or Azad (Aamir’s youngest kid) didn’t have this popularity. You think Taimur will be more famous? Saif & Kareena paid the media so as to keep them relevant until Kareena is fit enough to come back to movies
Actually 80% of the time the celebs have to pay the paps or inform them in advance when they are going somewhere out to stay relevant.
Let me preface this by saying that I am neither interested nor condone such news. But let's face it. There is a market for such news.

Dusro ki life mei ungli karna
This 100%. People just don't mind their own business. There is no such thing as privacy in India.
Bollywood.
Happy cake day
Bollywood and everything attached to it. I never understood the appeal.
Absolutely. Bollywood, with a very few and very rare exceptions, is a demonstration of apathy and mediocrity of astonishing levels. Most of the stars actually have no concept of acting, and are there simply because of their mindless fan following. The movies are mostly rotten, with bad scripts, bad acting, bad direction, objectification of women and truckloads of misogyny.
There's rare masterpieces like "3 Idiots" though. Then again, 3 idiot might just be the best bollywood movie(it is to me)
Same. The only good thing that has come from Chetan Bhagat (that too indirectly) is 3 Idiots. Taare Zameen Par is also nice.
Living life a certain way, study, get married, have kids et al. No individuality of life or thought.
And the obsession for money. India was the spiritual capital of the world, now it's just some money minded necropolis of the living deads.
This is so true! When anyone gets a job the first question is how much they make. Not what they do, if they will like the job etc.
>When anyone gets a job the first question is how much they make. Which is, incredibly impolite and shameless to ask and it's absolutely none of their business.
Even the religions adapted. From "give it all away" to "dear god pls gimme more money, big job, big house, pretty wife". What an impoverished culture it has turned into.
Most people wouldn't ever see that there's a world outside of the "culture" and "tradition" that they've made their whole lives about.
Our obsession with the thought that we had so much power and influence in past and everything in modern science and modern medicine was just already discovered in india.
Cricket, Bollywood celebrities
+1
+1
Bigg Boss
also Anupama.
My momm loves bigg boss.
Religion
Exactly. When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion.
Also religion based politics
Exactly. This plays with people at a disgusting level. They insinuate fights for their benefits.
+1 bhai🤝
hell yea, no religion should exist
Agreeeed
religion is cancer
fr man every fugging thing is about religion man.

I recently attended a citizenship ceremony with people from various countries becoming citizens where I’m at. 95% people took an oath which had them swear “under God”. Only 5% went for affirmation - I.e. no “under god” pledge. Religion’s insane - it has the world still by its balls.
Punjabi music! Some of my friends really trip on it. I just can't! Edit: k-pop as well!
Siddhu Moosewala entered the chat
This thread is now haunted. Get the ouija board out boys!
Need answers to Jatt da Mukabala
bruh he dead
Siddhu moosewala exited the chat ^(and this life)
Bruh moment report karna chahta hu sir
Past tense me entered the chat
Hahaha I’m a Punjabi Sikh and sometimes I too get tired of punjabi music. I guess the only exception is Siddhu Moosewala.
Same here not Sikh tho. Just Punjabi. But Han bro I feel u.
Gangnam style is the only Kpop acceptable for me 😤
The OG!
That's the only k-pop I have seen. That, and the other aado-paado one.
I don't hate Punjabi music, I hate it's encroachment over all other Indian music and especially Bollywood. Not a single Hindi song with a couple Punjabi verses. But is natural since Punjabis in Bollywood are like Jews in Hollywood.
Government job
I swear my parents argue with me on this topic every day.
Mine too, but the sides are opposite :)
Almost got convinced into it. Escaped in the nick of time!
Yeah bro finished my engineering this year and was getting prepared to study for upsc, thankfully my elder cousin who's already dropped 3 years for ups sat me down and told me it's not worth it. Feels like i dodged a bullet but still a bit sad that my parents are disappointed at my decision.

I tried to convince him to give it up and consider more “practical” options like MPSC (for Maharashtra). He has cleared UPSC prelims now but is mostly focused on MPSC.
They will be until you show them why they shouldn't. Just a matter of time.
Whoever told you that it isn't worth it . . . . . . . . . Thank them for saving your life.

Pension, gov house is a thing of past. Not everyone gets that
But work life balance is pretty good with Govt.
Celebs. I don't need to know agar aj Timur ki potty yellow nikli hai ya brown! STFU!
Par aaj to purple nikli hai.
Those genuinely disgust me. Why is it news?
Actors/celebs hypes, movie hypes, religion based speeches, media (news basically), reels ffs, and politics ofcourse.
Kapil Sharma
Underrated.
I second this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dowry
Baba's matching Kundlis before marriage. Worst scam in India
Easy money though ngl and you know our people are gullible too.
Aunties are easy targets
Korean drama and songs
They are good, ngl, but their fans are what I hate
Some of the dramas and songs are good tbf, but the toxic Fandom ruins the experience.
Buying unnecessarily expensive branded clothes just to show it off on instagram
A lot of people buy fakes/reps. Only idiots buy that shit full price lol
TMKOC
It was good once but now it has just become boring. Instead of comedy, there is just preaching now. It was good to have something funny after work but well, that's also gone now.
It was good when bapuji and Daya were dumb as fuck and babita used to seduce jethalal. Ab toh sab Gyan chodne wali batein krte hein
Because there is nothing else worth watching in India. The newer episodes are not that good but that's what you can watch with family and get entertained(somewhat).
Same for me. My friend is like obsessed with it still. Whenever I visit, it's on.
What is tmkoc
Tarak Mehta ka ooltah chashma
teri maa ki .............
Oily c
I didn't get it at first and wondered why you were abusing lol. Yeah, Tarak Mehta is absolute trash
Cricket
Same here.
Competitive Exams. IIT JEE/ NEET/ UPSC. Biggest lie told "Bas yeh pass kar lo toh life set hai"
Ngl, passing those exams will be a game changer for anyone.
Yeah, people will treat you like some future ATM, they will start having wild expectations from you without caring how you exactly feel and you'll become a zombie. There's no problem with those who passionately wanna do, but forcing everyone to do those is bullshit.
What about the students who couldn't pass the exams? The selection ratio is fucked and the difficulty level is brutal, many people sacrifice their entire childhood for IIT but only few of them end up in IITs.

If you do pass, you have a HUGE advantage over everyone. Almost enough to guarantee you a stable, high paying job.
True but clearing them is in itself something that does give your life direction. However, they are not the only means of getting it.
I have the same thoughts. In a country with a scary unemployment problem, you want to make talent even more selective? I understand it's an oversupply problem but goddamn. IIT imho benefits multi national corps a lot more than India and the best end up leaving the country. Would it kill the government to create several excellent colleges, create more home grown industry and compete on the global market? (Saying this as someone who went to a tier 1 university and still has this view)
Cricket and religion.
if cricket was a religion then it would be a major one in India.
Marriage
Cricket and celebrity worship
Religion
Bollywood Celebrities and Religion. And while I don't disagree with you, cricket is a big social activity. The obsession is excessive but it's alright. What's more important is promoting other sports as well. There's so much talent in the population which gets lost becomes no one acknowledges it.
Log Kya kehenge attitude
Being a retirement plan for your parents.
Cricket for sure
Cricket(I know most of the players and watch the major matches but not religiously invested in it), Sports in general, Religion, Bahubali(it was avg), Bollywood (there was a time i was obsessed but not anymore).
The only Bollywood movie I really really like is 3 idiots. After that I stopped watching almost all of Bollywood.
Bts Edit - the question says what is something you don’t care about? It means I don’t give a shit about BTS irrespective of wether they have good music or make up on their face.
I know girls Who cream their pants over BTS members but want full grown facial hair on Indian men. LMAO
Bisht
Bro teko surname se dikkat hai?
He's probably referring to yogi
Ajay?
Same, OP. Plenty of other sports that could use some exposure
People only care about other sports when one gets a gold medal. It's sad cuz they work so hard.
Athletes in other sports too are doing very well. Tennis, hockey, track/field, motorsports!
> People only care about other sports when one gets a gold medal And why do you think Cricket is popular in India? Coz we are successful and one of the Best in the world. No one gave a shit about Cricket till 83 WC win. And Hockey was our Favourite Sport till then and when it fell into a deep pit in terms of Performances, Cricket became the alternative. General audience will want our nation to win other Top countries, if we kept losing they will lose interest. Simple as that.
Bro cricket is famous in india cuz Indian cricket team performed well and won so many trophies in past, that happens with every sports if you want supporters and viewers you have to perform well. Agar indian cricket team achha nahi kheli hoti toh Cricket inta popular nahi hota. Bcci and Indian cricket team earned that spot.
There are many actually - God & Religion Festivals Astrology Celebrity worship Caste and "culture" Normalised dowry culture Arranged marriage Wedding celebrations Fair skin obsession Mass media and socia media Toxic family and relatives Treating househelp, vendors etc working class people as slave Society (chaar log kya kahenge) Government job Tiktokers and other social media "influencers" Indian jugaad bullshit Politics as a whole especially Hindutva and caste politics
Punjabi music, Cricket, Marriage, Religion
Celebrities, gossiping
Marriage
Bollywood, constant dick measuring contest with Pakistan.
Big boss and TMKOC
Something which has taken hold over in the recent years is Punjabi music however it's something I don't enjoy very much if at all. I love all the other aspects of Punjab though, the food and culture.
Bjp
Haha same! I used to love cricket as a child but then it faded out when I hit my teenage. Another is Bollywood. I only recently watched Barfi because some friends forced me. You can guess how outdated and disconnected I am. I don’t think about why others are obsessed with it. It’s their choice, who am I to question their likes! Peace ✌️
tbf Barfi is a damn good movie, a rarity in Bollywood
Avengers
Sligthly unrelated but Marvel's Punisher and Daredevil are some of the best
I don't think everyone even watched marvel stuff, heck movies.
Religion
Wedding celebrations!
Well the wedding Industry generates millions and gives employment to thousands of people so that's good. Since I'm poor anyway, i couldn't spend anything beyond a court marriage.

Bollywood. I'm really bored of the copy-paste/plagiarism that is rampant in Bollywood. Other film industries within India tend to make better films and also represent India better at film festivals. Whenever this is brought up, people of my view often get told we're snobbish. Even if that is true, that doesn't change the truth about Bollywood and how it's washed over other arts/cultures and made tropes, norms, stereotypes which aren't the best.

Taking interest in other people's personal life. Marriage. Kids. Kitna kamata hai. Kya khata hai. Kiske saath aata jaata hai. Instead focusing shift on myself, my health, my goals and aims, travel, time outs.
Cricket, religion, politics, celebrities. Please don't kill me.
